    1 Lying Down, 1 Month Breathing, 2 Possible Sneezes

    Absolutely! My eldest daughter informed me that she can't take any eggs home with her this time because she's staying with friends for a few days before heading back home. She added that next visit she can take a carton or two, though. I thought that was generous of her considering I hadn't...

    I think they look pretty together, but I'm not sure what I was thinking When I got Kitty. I mean, the theme is pretty Black and White... and Kitty. IDK. Thanks for the rest of your comment. It makes sense when put that way.

    What the Actual Cluck? (A Journal)

    Peggy is a stinker, but she's a tiny bit more chill since she's got her eggs sorted out and "normal." She must have been going through a hormonal hurricane there for a while.
